چگونگی فقدان فیزیوتراپیست خارج از ساعات به پرستاران کمک می کند تا نقش خود را توسعه دهند: مطالعه موردی انگلستان

The aim of this article is to share the experience of how a multi-disciplinary team worked together to develop the nursing role to incorporate the practitioners supporting mobilisation of a patient. The role developed nurses' competence, ensuring that the information and instruction patients received were consistent between therapists and nursing staff, but also supported the Enhanced Recovery Programme (2010). There were issues with the level of therapy support, especially out of hours. The team agreed a vision together, with a solution to the problem on how the mobilisation of patients post-surgery could be achieved. This would ensure postoperative complications were reduced and that there was continuity in education for the patients. This experience is an example of how staff can be empowered to provide patients with a positive experience through challenging practices and behaviours and resulting in innovative practice and role development.
